And a large chunk of this 95% would see that their hardware is not supported, sigh and stay on 10, gradually conditioning themselves to ignore the upgrade notifications.
Comment on Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11

These articles cater to the privacy centric, super user type people, which is totally fine, but we should remember that we are not the average user. We represent… basically an insignificant percentage of the user base.
Windows is not actually having a problem getting people to upgrade to Windows 11. There is a small minority of people who see the issues and are loud about it, but I guarantee that 95% will update when their computer tells them they have to update.

And most of these will upgrade once they buy a new laptop anyway.

But this would be far in the future for a lot of people anyway.

According to this article, they are. It took 2 years for Win10 to overtake Win7 and be more than 50% of the install base. After 2 years of Win11 being available, it only has 23% of the install base.

To be fair (somewhat) Win10 had the dumpster fire that was Win8 between it and Win7, so it had all the people upgrading from Win7 as well as everyone that had Win8. Not defending Win11 here, I’m never going to use it.

For that to happen they’d have to drop the TPM requirement.
Pretty sure my CPU (i5-8400) has it, but for some reason it doesn’t show up. Probably disabled in the BIOS, although I’ve no idea why.
In any case I don’t care until I have a good reason to upgrade. Direct Storage was threatening to be Win 11 only, but I’ve honestly never heard of any games requiring it yet. And the still fucked GPU prices mean I’m more likely to play those on my PS5 than upgrade my PC for it.
